4 Importance of this subject In Biblical usage names frequently described the person or object named reveal His nature. In our purpose to know God better the study of His Names depicts some of His Divine Attributes and Nature The Name of God is a metonymy which represents the entire person of God and this is the reason for the third commandment, which forbids to take God s Name in vain (Exodus 20:7; Deuteronomy 5:11).
5 in the OT El This is the simplest form of the Name of God. This same designation appears in ancient near east writings (Babylonian Phoenician, Aramaic and Arabic). The Bible uses it even for false gods. This name points to the overwhelming majesty of God and the power which created all things (Psalm 19:1; Isaiah 9:6). This contrasts with anything that is human (Numbers 23:19; Ezekiel 28:2; Hosea 11:9).
6 The Names of fgod in the OT God Almighty (El Shaddai): Shaddai points to the fullness and richness of God s Grace in the fact that He is never tired of showering mercy over His people. God is pointed as the inexhaustible source of every blessing; this is a characteristic name of the patriarchal period (Genesis 17:1-6; 28:3; 35:11; 48:3; 49:25). God Most High (El Elyon): The Sovereign and Supreme above all, worthy of trust (Genesis 14:17-22; Psalm 78:35, Daniel 4:34). God Eternal (El Olam): It is a less frequent name. He is the beginning and the end who carries out His purposes throughout the ages (Genesis 21:33; Psalm 90:1-2)
7 in the OT Elohim - normally translated as God. It can be related to El and it is the most common word to refer to the True God though it is also used in Scripture to describe creatures or false gods, because it also means judge or ruler (Genesis 31:30, 30 32; 35:1, 2, 4; Exodus 7:1; 12:12; 20:3; Psalm 82:1-7). In the NT Greek it would be the equivalent to THEOS The noun is a plural, but it is used with a verb in the singular when addressing the true God
8 in the OT Elohim - Some suggest that from it the Doctrine of three persons in one Godhead is hinted in this Name because Elohim is a noun in a majestic or intensified plurality. Genesis 1:26-27 and Deuteronomy 6:4 appear to support this position Then God said: let US make man according to OUR image Hear o Israel, Yahweh Elohim (plural of Elohe) Yahweh is one This Name points to God s power and the fact that He must be feared and revered for who He is. The almighty creator of the universe
9 in the OT Elohim - Jehovah h Yahweh h Yahoweh h This is the Name of the living God (Exodus 15:3; Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 42:8; Hosea 12:5) It is the most employed Name in the OT and it is never used for heathen gods. Its original pronunciation is uncertain because the Jews only preserved the consonants YHWH Maybe pronounced Yahveh or Yahweh and it appears combined with Elohim or Adonai (LORD). Its meaning is The One who exists by Himself (remember the Aseity of God). His immortality, eternity and faithfulness are also reflected in this Name
10 in the OT Elohim Jehovah h Yahweh h Yahoweh h This Name is used when there is an implication to the relationship between God and man especially in redemption. The word Jah (it appears in old Spanish Bibles) is a contraction of the Name Jehovah (Exodus 15:6; 17:6; Psalm 77:11; 89:8) This form is used in the common Hallelujah which means Praise Jah (Psalm 46:1; 68:4) It is also the suffix in names like Joshua and Elijah
11 in the OT Elohim Jehovah h Yahweh h Yahoweh h Hallelujah is not a Hebrew word but it appears in the Bible in Revelation 19 as a Greek word. Sing to God, sing praises to His name Lit.: Sing to God or stroll the fingers (playing an instrument) to His Name The title the Angel of the Lord (Angel of Yahweh) is used to refer to God Himself (Genesis 16:7-13; 31:13; Judges 6:11-16; 6; Joshua 6:2). Some scholars s have good arguments to affirm that they are references to Messiah
12 in the OT Elohim Jehovah h Yahweh h Yahoweh h There are several phrases formed with the Name Jehovah Yahweh (Jehovah) Sabaoth (Lord of Hosts): makes reference to God s majesty, His care for Israel and His ability to save (1 Samuel 1:3; 17:45; 2 Samuel 7:26; Psalm 46:7; 48:8). It points to God as Captain and Defender of Israel s armies and His governing of the heavenly hosts (a poetic name for the stars) and for the angels who serve God. Yahweh (Jehovah) Jireh (The Lord will provide). Used by Abraham when God provided a lamb in substitution for Isaac (Genesis 22:13-14) reason why it is associated with redemption in Christ
13 in the OT Elohim Jehovah Yahweh Yahoweh Yahweh (Jehovah) Rapha (The Lord your healer) Exodus 15: This truth was displayed magnificently during Jesus earthly ministry Yahweh (Jehovah) Nissi (The Lord our Banner) The Name used by Moses after the defeat of Amalek and the banner raised in eternity to Christ (Exodus 17:8-16; Isaiah 11:10-12) Yahweh (Jehovah) Mekaddesh (The Lord who sanctifies) It appears in the Pentateuch related to several of the laws given to Israel (Exodus 31:12, 13; Leviticus 20:8, 15, 23) Note: the three persons of the Godhead are involved in our sanctification (1 Corinthians 1:30; 1 Peter 1:2; Jude 1)
14 in the OT Elohim Jehovah Yahweh Yahoweh Yahweh (Jehovah) Shalom (The Lord our peace): this is the Name Gideon used when he built an altar after seeing the Angel of the Lord. It reminds us from where our everlasting and enduring peace comes from (Judges 6:22-24) 24) Yahweh (Jehovah) Rohi (The Lord my Shepherd): It paints the richness of the relationship of God with His people (Psalm 23:1) and also to Him who is the Good Shepherd and gave His life for the sheep (John 10:11). Yahweh (Jehovah) Tsidkenu (The Lord our Justice): This is also the title for Messiah (Jeremiah 23:5-6; 1 Corinthians 1:30). The only provision for sinners to obtain justice before God
15 in the OT Elohim Jehovah h Yahweh h Yahoweh h Yahweh (Jehovah) Shammah (The Lord is there): It is the last title (chronologically) ll given to God in the OT (Ezekiel 48:35). It reminds us of the glorious truth that God will dwell with His people p forever (Revelation 21:22-23). Adonai It appears very frequently in the OT and its primary meaning is LORD (Genesis 15:2, 8; 18:3; Ezra 10:3; Psalm 8; 16:2; 35:23; 38:15; 110:1; Isaiah 40:3-5). It declares divine authority, sovereign domain and God s right to demand unconditional obedience (Malachi 1:6).
16 in the OT Elohim Jehovah Yahweh Yahoweh Adonai The Greek terms KURIOS in the NT is the equivalent to ADONAI This term is also used to designate human authorities (Genesis 18:12; 24:9, 10, 12).
17 in the OT Elohim Jehovah Yahweh Yahoweh Adonai Names of God in the NT Father, Son and Holy Spirit: In the Great Commission the name appears in singular, even when it mentions the three persons in the Trinity (Matthew 28:19) Emanuel (God with us): Jesus is the incarnation of God who came to dwell with us (Isaiah 7:14; 8:8-10; Matthew 1:23). In Him the fullness of deity dwells (Colossians 2:9). Lord Jesus Christ: It points us both to the deity and Lord Jesus Christ: It points us both to the deity and the humanity of Christ, and to His Office as Messiah (Acts 11:17; 15:26; 20:21; 28:31; Romans 1:4, 7; 5:1, etc.)
18 in the OT Elohim 3. Jehovah Yahweh Yahoweh 4. Adonai Names of God in the NT 1. Father, Son and Holy Spirit 2. Emanuel (God with us) 3. Lord Jesus Christ Application: a) Our devotional life will be enriched if we review these glorious names and repeat them back to God in prayer. b) Each one of these names is a reason for worship and praise c) We may associate these names with particular instances c) We may associate these names with particular instances in which God has supplied our needs according to what one or more of His Names describe of Him
